Blue Cheese and Candy Corn
Posted: 08 Aug 2016, 14:07
The stars and the moon
are like blue cheese and candy corn
they glow and glitter
shiver and sparkle
at dead dreams dangling
in night's flesh and night's blood
faces carved in golden crust
silver dots spelling out my name
which I forget sometimes
but I never forget
my heart that beats and frowns
when life is at the very edge of the roof
ready to let go
but never quite ready for the fall
I never forget
the way his lips curve up
hiding a conspiracy
against my lovely lonely love
I never forget
thoughts buried deep underground
skidding on ice
rolling into doughy balls of sticky strife
I never forget
the stars and the moon
watching me as I watch them
save me from dark prayers
and wish-washy hopes
are like blue cheese and candy corn
they glow and glitter
shiver and sparkle
at dead dreams dangling
in night's flesh and night's blood
faces carved in golden crust
silver dots spelling out my name
which I forget sometimes
but I never forget
my heart that beats and frowns
when life is at the very edge of the roof
ready to let go
but never quite ready for the fall
I never forget
the way his lips curve up
hiding a conspiracy
against my lovely lonely love
I never forget
thoughts buried deep underground
skidding on ice
rolling into doughy balls of sticky strife
I never forget
the stars and the moon
watching me as I watch them
save me from dark prayers
and wish-washy hopes
